Fort Wayne. It looks taller and more modern. I hope the city gets some more towers.

Rochester, NY or Birmingham, AL?

I prefer the Birmingham skyline over Rochester's. Both are nice, and both need more skyscrapers overall. But Birmingham's rolling hills are so gorgeous.

Birmingham vs Raleigh?

Birmingham. The skyline is denser and more impressive. Raleigh will get there, and probably exceed Birmingham's over time.

Chattanooga, TN or Trenton, NJ?

Chattanooga. The background scenery makes it look better in my opinion. Louisville KY or Portland OR?

Portland by far, for me. Portland's skyline is much more dense, and there are more skyscrapers under construction--density and height will continue. And the beautiful mountain backdrop adds an incredible touch.

Louisville has a couple of very nice looking towers. But their building has stagnated and I don't think anything is under construction now or planned, very much.

Portland vs Phoenix?

Portland, for me. Phoenix's skyline is alright, but to me I wish it had more infill buildings in it's downtown.

Speaking of downtowns where people in skyscraper look comparisons, sometimes wish a few more buildings had been built: Denver, or Phoenix?

Denver easily. Denver will build more, it has been focusing on infill more recently.

Nashville, TN or Las Vegas, NV?

Nashville is catching up fast, and will surpass Vegas in total skyscraper count, by the late 2020s or early 2030s. Nashville has a core density of skyscrapers that is building up and out fast, as well as building their midtown up and out fast, as well.

Vegas has some tall, great skyscrapers on its strip, but density is few and far between, and there is a sporadic layout of buildings. The downtown in Las Vegas is tiny, and although it will grow, it is underwhelming to say the least.

Nashville beats Vegas.

San Diego vs Honolulu?

San Diego vs Honolulu?

Honolulu, it's the Density for me. It's Giving Miami/Vancouver Vibes. San Diego is no slouch, And Actually San Diego's skyline is Prettier and Looks Newer and More Flashy than Honolulu, But Honolulu has More Density and Length and that trump's Beauty. San Diego is Building but it will take years/decades to match Honolulu's Length
In A Perfect World. The Perfect Skyline has Length, Density, and Width. The Holy Grail/ The Trifecta of skylines. Honolulu has the Trifecta. Ohh and I Didn't even mention Hawaii's Backdrop
Winner: Honolulu


Nashville vs Denver

Denver gets the edge here. Taller buildings, more density and much more established dense downtown. Nashville is catching up very fast though, and should have as many skyscrapers as Denver in about 5 years, if the construction keeps pace.

Denver vs Calgary?
